4 Carpet Cleaning Myths To Ask Your Pro Office Cleaners About

At Alta Clean, we can help you keep your Dallas, TX business looking great for you, your employees and your customers. From hard surface cleaning to dusting and window washing, we offer comprehensive janitorial services for just about any kind of business. One of the most important services we offer is carpet care and restoration. Unfortunately, there are some business owners and managers who think that they can reduce their cleaning budget by eliminating daily carpet care and periodic deep cleaning. Because carpets are underfoot, they think that no one will notice if they’re dirty or grimy. If you’re one of those people who thinks it’s a good idea to cut carpet-cleaning corners, it may be because you’re laboring under some false assumptions about office carpet cleaning like:

Dark Carpeting Doesn’t Need Cleaning
If your office carpeting is dark-colored or has a bold pattern, you know that it gets just as dirty as light-colored carpeting – it just doesn’t show up as easily. Regular vacuuming by your janitorial team is important for everyday cleaning but deep, steam cleaning is necessary to remove embedded dirt, ground-in grime and all of the disease-causing germs and allergens that only hot water can kill. Both vacuuming and steam cleaning are also effective at removing bits of dirt and debris that act like sandpaper on carpet fibers. Damaged fibers can cause your carpeting to wear out faster, which means you’ll have to replace it sooner than necessary.

No Customers On Your Carpeting Means No Cleaning Is Necessary
If you don’t have customers coming into your business or carpeting is only in employee-accessed areas, your carpeting still requires regular attention. While your carpeting may not have to impress customers, it still has to look clean and be sanitary for your employees. Working in an office with dirty carpeting can lower your employees’ morale, which can lead to lower productivity. Keeping the work environment clean and healthy shows your employees that you care about them and it will also help when you’re trying to recruit new employees.

Vacuuming Is All The Care Your Carpets Need
Vacuuming is a vital part of carpet care and it is useful for removing dirt and debris from carpeting that can abrade and eventually discolor the fibers but it’s not the only thing your office carpeting needs. Vacuuming can’t remove the dirt that’s fallen deep into the carpet fibers. It can’t remove stains and it can’t kill bacteria living in your carpeting. Regular steam cleaning by cleaning professionals can finish the job that vacuuming starts.

All You Should Look For In A Carpet Cleaning Company Is Great Equipment
There’s no doubt that good, state-of-the-art equipment is important, but the cleaning company you hire to take care of your office carpeting must have trained employees with experience cleaning all different types of carpeting. If the technicians handling the machinery don’t know what they’re doing, you won’t get the carpet cleaning you expect. In addition to being trained in using their equipment properly, pro cleaners know exactly which products, in which quantities, to use to get the best results.
